PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 61 specifies the areas in which knowledge and
skill shall be demonstrated by an applicant before
issuance of a pilot certificate with the associated
category and class ratings. This regulation provides
the flexibility that permits the FAA to publish practical
test standards containing specific TASKS in which
competency shall be demonstrated.
AREAS OF OPERATION are phases of the practical
test arranged in a logical sequence. TASKS are
knowledge areas, flight procedures, or maneuvers
appropriate to an AREA OF OPERATION. However,
an examiner may conduct the practical test in any
sequence that results in a complete and efficient test.
The tables of contents for the private and commercial
balloon practical test standards along with a practical
test checklist are presented on the following pages.
